The Connecticut Department of Laborís Office of
Research, in partnership with the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, regularly
prepares data on the stateís resident workforce. Monthly updates of these
statistics show the total workforce, number of persons employed, number of
persons unemployed, and unemployment rate. These data, collectively known as
labor force statistics, are compiled in five geographic contexts: state, labor
market areas, county, SDA, and municipality. Statistics displayed on the map are
annual average data for 1998.

The following mapódivided into SDA regions--shows
employment rates, that is percentage of the resident workforce that is employed,
in Connecticutís cities and towns in five ranges. The mapís legend shows each
percentage range of employment rates followed by the number of municipalities
within that range. The pages following the map show individual city and town
workforce populations and employment rates.
